But really, I've seen too many pics of what salt can do to your undercarriage...even here on this forum.

When I pull the bed off this summer, I'll be able to clean up the surface crap and paint, and know I have a solid frame to service me for years to come.

Anyways...I'm no good with a snow shovel either. Gotta love the deep south!

6" now and no sign of slowing down.
People think I'm crazy for washing my undercarriage (esp. the spring hangers) as soon as it's warm enough that the hose doesn't freeze.
But my truck is 24, and my frame is still solid.

We are also snowed in here in Sanford, NC. I am waiting when the snow lets loose from
my garage metal roof when I have to shovel it away. Where are you located in NC
Wicked Endings?

I'm in Onslow County, about 25 minutes from Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville.

Richlands is at about... I think they said 4-5 inchs as of a few hours ago? Probably more now...


They said we'd reach 6-8 inchs of snow by the end of the night, and I think they are right.

In the past 10 years or so, the snow amount each winter has gotten bigger and bigger.

But yeah, around here, an inch or two of snow and everything is shut down... Crazy.
